[nysbirds-l] 27 Bald Eagles--Upper Delaware today

[Andy Mason]

Today's Delaware-Otsego Audubon Soc. annual field trip to view wintering
Bald Eagles in the upper Delaware River basin brought out over 50
participants who spotted 27 eagles along the East and West Branches of the
Delaware and Cannonsville Reservoir in Delaware County.

 

Waterways and the reservoir were nearly all open, leading to the birds being
more dispersed than usual.  Other species sighted included Red-tailed Hawks,
Belted Kingfisher, Common and Hooded Mergansers, Buffleheads, Black Ducks,
Mallards and Canada Geese.

[nysbirds-l] Montauk Point 1/9/16

[Tim Healy]

After a successful wild goose chase in Smithtown, I continued to have a great 
day out at Montauk Point. I crossed paths and teamed up with lots of birders 
throughout the day, and almost everyone had a spread of excellent sightings to 
share. My personal highlights included the stunning views of the continuing 
drake King Eider between the lighthouse and Camp Hero, a young Glaucous Gull 
along with adult and subadult Iceland Gulls at the inlet to Lake Montauk, a 
Red-necked Grebe at Culloden Point, and several Virginia Rails at Big Reed 
Pond. The biggest surprise was a flyby Black Guillemot heading east, again 
between the lighthouse and the CH bluffs. It appeared a bit duskier than the 
photos of the bird from January 1st, with more pepper than salt in the plumage 
of its upperside. I only saw it briefly before losing it in the swells, but the 
chunky body, low, buzzy flight, and white wing patches were distinctive. There 
were plenty of the expected sea ducks and loons off the point. Other birds of 
note included Razorbills, goldeneye, scaup, Bufflehead, both cormorants, Purple 
Sandpiper, Snow Geese, harrier, and Sharp-shin.

[nysbirds-l] Montauk Ash-throated Flycatcher - no

[Christina Wilkinson]

Yesterday and today, birders on the NYC Audubon winter weekend trip to Montauk 
searched for the Ash-throated Flycatcher at Fort Hill Cemetery without success. 
 A groundskeeper who was familiar with the bird said he last saw it 4 days ago.

We did see a Peregrine Falcon fly over the cemetery this morning, however.  
There also were thousands of sea ducks, mostly eiders, mergansers and scoters, 
seen from the Camp Hero bluffs and 5 Long-tailed ducks at the seal haulout site.

   The Western Grebe is currently being observed on the south side of the

but identifiable looks are possible with binoculars. Good viewing spots are
near the boat house and from the cement pier.

Good Birding,

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of New York meeting 1/12

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hello all,
This coming Tuesday the Linnaean Society of New York presents its first
monthly meeting of 2016. Please join us in the Linder Theater on the first
floor of the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77thStreet
between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

6:00 pm – Micro-Parks as Migrant Traps, panel discussion

Linnaean Society Vice-President Andrew Rubenfeld will moderate a panel
discussion on the micro-parks of New York City. Bryant Park is a good case
in point: it is fairly small, sufficiently developed, and busy with
people—yet in the past few years of close observation it has attracted and
retained many unusual birds (from warblers and thrushes to woodcocks and
last spring’s Chuck-will’s-widow). These birds stay for a few days or
several weeks; some even overwinter. The enclosed canyon effect of the
tall, glass-covered buildings surrounding the park and the nighttime
illumination are certainly key factors. Presumably some birds range beyond
the park to feed but return there to roost. Does the lack of nearby
backyards contribute? Why do some of these pocket parks attract a variety
of migrants, and others do not? After the panel members’ discussion there
will be a question-and-answer period from the audience.

7:30 pm – 21st-Century Birding, Ned Brinkley

Editor of North American Birds, Ned Brinkley spends as much time pondering
the cultural changes in birding as the changes in the distribution of
birds. He writes: “Over the 20th century, film and television in the United
States almost invariably portrayed birders as marginal and eccentric. For
many decades such media strongly influenced the general public’s perception
of birders and went nearly unchallenged. As with other subcultures birders
began to stake claims to normative American “cool” culture. This shift in
self-definition was first reflected in the media in the 1990s. With the
limitless proliferation via social media in the 21st century, the process
by which birders perceive and promulgate themselves and their pastime as
mainstream has accelerated. Birding is seen now as intense, athletic, hip,
intelligent, exploratory, edgy, and fashionable.” Brinkley’s talk will
trace birding’s evolution from the era of mannish spinsters and knock-kneed
milquetoasts to the latter-day spectacle of selfie super-heroism.

good birding,

Anders Peltomaa
LSNY Council member

[nysbirds-l] Cackling Goose, Central Islip, Suffolk

[David La Magna]

Mike Rath and I in the middle of goose mania had a Cackling Goose in a Canada 
flock in the field just northeast of the Ducks Stadium by the court houses.  
Viewed from the sidewalk, gate to get into the field is locked.  Distant photos 
obtained.  Good luck if you go!

[nysbirds-l] Long Island Ross's Geese

[Derek Rogers]

Apologies as I don't mean to jam the list up about the Ross's Geese but there 
is some confusion and I want to provide some helpful clarification. There are 
currently two Ross's Geese on Long Island's South Shore on either side of the 
Nassau/Suffolk border.

The first known Ross's Goose is the Avon Lake bird that spends its time with a 
local Canada Goose flock in and around the area, south along Riverside Avenue 
and Amityville Creek (Suffolk). This bird shows yellow staining along the 
flanks and is apparent in all of the photographs I've seen (hidden though when 
the bird is roosting in water).

The second Ross's is the bird I came across today at Berner Junior High School 
in Massapequa (Nassau) while trying to find the above bird. This bird is clean 
white, lacking the yellow stain as seen on the above mentioned individual. This 
bird eventually flew to the southwest and is roosting on Unqua Lake in 
Massapequa Park. A good set up if your looking to twitch County Ross's.

Best,
Derek Rogers
Sayville

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Goose, Avon Lake, Amityville (Yes)

Thanks for the post, Anthony. 

I am still viewing the Ross's in Massapequa at Berner Junior High School. I 
suspected the Massapequa bird was a second Ross's. The bird I'm viewing now is 
lacking the yellow stain as shown on the Avon bird. So we are dealing with two 
Ross's!

[nysbirds-l] Western Grebe yes

[d Futuyma]

Lance Verderame and I are looking at the grebe. It is south of the Piermont 
pier, not very far away. It is high tide and the access road is flooded in one 
pace to a depth of ca.5 inches, so you may want to drive in or use boots in the 
next hour or so.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Goose, Avon Lake, Amityville (Yes)

[Derek Rogers]

Thanks for the post, Anthony. 

I am still viewing the Ross's in Massapequa at Berner Junior High School. I 
suspected the Massapequa bird was a second Ross's. The bird I'm viewing now is 
lacking the yellow stain as shown on the Avon bird. So we are dealing with two 
Ross's!

[nysbirds-l] Montauk Ash-throated Flycatcher - no

[Christina Wilkinson]

Yesterday and today, birders on the NYC Audubon winter weekend trip to Montauk 
searched for the Ash-throated Flycatcher at Fort Hill Cemetery without success. 
 A groundskeeper who was familiar with the bird said he last saw it 4 days ago.

We did see a Peregrine Falcon fly over the cemetery this morning, however.  
There also were thousands of sea ducks, mostly eiders, mergansers and scoters, 
seen from the Camp Hero bluffs and 5 Long-tailed ducks at the seal haulout site.

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of New York meeting 1/12

[Anders Peltomaa]

Hello all,
This coming Tuesday the Linnaean Society of New York presents its first
monthly meeting of 2016. Please join us in the Linder Theater on the first
floor of the American Museum of Natural History (enter at West 77thStreet
between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue).

6:00 pm – Micro-Parks as Migrant Traps, panel discussion

Linnaean Society Vice-President Andrew Rubenfeld will moderate a panel
discussion on the micro-parks of New York City. Bryant Park is a good case
in point: it is fairly small, sufficiently developed, and busy with
people—yet in the past few years of close observation it has attracted and
retained many unusual birds (from warblers and thrushes to woodcocks and
last spring’s Chuck-will’s-widow). These birds stay for a few days or
several weeks; some even overwinter. The enclosed canyon effect of the
tall, glass-covered buildings surrounding the park and the nighttime
illumination are certainly key factors. Presumably some birds range beyond
the park to feed but return there to roost. Does the lack of nearby
backyards contribute? Why do some of these pocket parks attract a variety
of migrants, and others do not? After the panel members’ discussion there
will be a question-and-answer period from the audience.

7:30 pm – 21st-Century Birding, Ned Brinkley

Editor of North American Birds, Ned Brinkley spends as much time pondering
the cultural changes in birding as the changes in the distribution of
birds. He writes: “Over the 20th century, film and television in the United
States almost invariably portrayed birders as marginal and eccentric. For
many decades such media strongly influenced the general public’s perception
of birders and went nearly unchallenged. As with other subcultures birders
began to stake claims to normative American “cool” culture. This shift in
self-definition was first reflected in the media in the 1990s. With the
limitless proliferation via social media in the 21st century, the process
by which birders perceive and promulgate themselves and their pastime as
mainstream has accelerated. Birding is seen now as intense, athletic, hip,
intelligent, exploratory, edgy, and fashionable.” Brinkley’s talk will
trace birding’s evolution from the era of mannish spinsters and knock-kneed
milquetoasts to the latter-day spectacle of selfie super-heroism.

good birding,

Anders Peltomaa
LSNY Council member

[nysbirds-l] Long Island Ross's Geese

[Derek Rogers]

Apologies as I don't mean to jam the list up about the Ross's Geese but there 
is some confusion and I want to provide some helpful clarification. There are 
currently two Ross's Geese on Long Island's South Shore on either side of the 
Nassau/Suffolk border.

The first known Ross's Goose is the Avon Lake bird that spends its time with a 
local Canada Goose flock in and around the area, south along Riverside Avenue 
and Amityville Creek (Suffolk). This bird shows yellow staining along the 
flanks and is apparent in all of the photographs I've seen (hidden though when 
the bird is roosting in water).

The second Ross's is the bird I came across today at Berner Junior High School 
in Massapequa (Nassau) while trying to find the above bird. This bird is clean 
white, lacking the yellow stain as seen on the above mentioned individual. This 
bird eventually flew to the southwest and is roosting on Unqua Lake in 
Massapequa Park. A good set up if your looking to twitch County Ross's.

Best,

[nysbirds-l] Western Grebe Continues at Piermont Pier

[Jesse Sargent]

   The Western Grebe is currently being observed on the south side of the
pier some distance out near some old pylons. Scope definitely preferred,
but identifiable looks are possible with binoculars. Good viewing spots are
near the boat house and from the cement pier.

Good Birding,
Jesse Sargent

[nysbirds-l] Montauk Point 1/9/16

[Tim Healy]

After a successful wild goose chase in Smithtown, I continued to have a great 
day out at Montauk Point. I crossed paths and teamed up with lots of birders 
throughout the day, and almost everyone had a spread of excellent sightings to 
share. My personal highlights included the stunning views of the continuing 
drake King Eider between the lighthouse and Camp Hero, a young Glaucous Gull 
along with adult and subadult Iceland Gulls at the inlet to Lake Montauk, a 
Red-necked Grebe at Culloden Point, and several Virginia Rails at Big Reed 
Pond. The biggest surprise was a flyby Black Guillemot heading east, again 
between the lighthouse and the CH bluffs. It appeared a bit duskier than the 
photos of the bird from January 1st, with more pepper than salt in the plumage 
of its upperside. I only saw it briefly before losing it in the swells, but the 
chunky body, low, buzzy flight, and white wing patches were distinctive. There 
were plenty of the expected sea ducks and loons off the point. Other birds of 
note included Razorbills, goldeneye, scaup, Bufflehead, both cormorants, Purple 
Sandpiper, Snow Geese, harrier, and Sharp-shin.

[nysbirds-l] 27 Bald Eagles--Upper Delaware today

[Andy Mason]

Today's Delaware-Otsego Audubon Soc. annual field trip to view wintering
Bald Eagles in the upper Delaware River basin brought out over 50
participants who spotted 27 eagles along the East and West Branches of the
Delaware and Cannonsville Reservoir in Delaware County.

 

Waterways and the reservoir were nearly all open, leading to the birds being
more dispersed than usual.  Other species sighted included Red-tailed Hawks,
Belted Kingfisher, Common and Hooded Mergansers, Buffleheads, Black Ducks,
Mallards and Canada Geese.
